MODX is an open source CMS and web application framework written in PHP, using a MySQL or MSSQL database backend.

MODX is an open source CMS and web application framework written in PHP. There are two major branches of the framework, MODX Evolution (1.x) and Revolution (2.x) which use similar terminology and concepts, however the latter was completely rewritten.

While MODX Evolution is only available for MySQL, the database abstraction layer in MODX Revolution (called xPDO) also allows MSSQL to be used as database backend.

Content management is achieved with a simple document tree. Reusable, repeated HTML snippets are referred to as "chunks" and can be incorporated into templates. PHP code can be used similarly and is referred to as "snippets".
